Hi all,

First of all thanks Felix @fxrob for starting this interesting group build. A period where some amazing aircraft were developed and used. After having seen some of those early war planes in real life during the "Flying Legends" in Duxford, England, it was clear to me which aircraft was the first to choose when this group build started.
It is the Westland Lysander for which I will use the Eduard Limited Edition, kit 11138, in 1/48 scale. The kit includes various extras like PE, resin and masks. I will build it as an aircraft which flew in 26 squadron at the time they performed army co-operation in French territory.

Woah, what a fantastic choice, John @johnb. I love the Lysander, just bought the new Airfix kit. Looking forward to following your build! Great scheme btw.

I’m looking forward to see this build John @johnb. And great to see your picture with the Lysander. 😊

Really looking forward to this one, John (@johnb). I have always been intimidated by all the glass and the complicated interior on the Lysander. I just got the new Airfix kit, but I want to save it for a while. I think the Eduard kit has the Gavia kit with all the cool PE, decals, and resin. It should really build up into a nice model.

Like the pics John. Looks like you are ready to jump right in and fire her up.

Oh, by the way, you inspired me...just purchased the Airfix 1/48 kit. Not sure when I will get to it but she sure will look good next to other RAF stash-ers.

Me too, Gary @gwskat! So excited about that kit. Which scheme do you want to do?

@gwskat, thank you, Gary. I wish I could have jumped into the aircraft. Looking forward to your Lysander.

@fxrob, thanks, Felix. It is a picture taken to prove that I was there. But I do prefer the pictures without me 🙂
@stephen-w-towle, thank you, Stephen. To me the aircraft being a single model is sufficient for me 🙂 . I will keep you informed on the progress.
